They leave grooves in the soil making hard walking, and cover up young plants really bad, and leave weeds behind!---other than that they great! LOL!---thats why I prefer the troy-built for cultivating with!---problem with them is that they are slow!I use a JD 3-pt 1- row (video on You-Tube of it) on the 56 cub for large crops like spuds, so I can roll dirt up to the rows making ridges!---In your ground it may do a smooth job,--in my ground it dont, so go for it! LOL! thanks; sonny

It is all in having the right feet on the shanks and having the shanks adjusted correctly Boss

Here is the back of mine on the 72.---I used the 3-point lower holes to pull the bars from and removed the 2 small 3 hole tabs, the round ends slide right into the holes.---chains will lift them,--since I didnt get any rods/springs with mine to put down pressure on the units..

The scratchers do great in doing a certain amount of back filling the ruts thanks; sonny
